Mr.. DoNNELLY'S man BACON has
had a backset. An English historian
has tumblcd on cryptogram by which
he proposes to prove that FRANCIS
BACON was hot the author of Novum
Organum, but that he stole it from his
private secretary. Ii BACON stole the
Organum it is likely that lie also stole
the plays that SHAKESPEARE is ac-
cused of stealing from him. Literary
piracy in those days must have been as
common as deer stealing.

crown Of incnndescent lights, over
which the water flows as it takes its
concave form. From the bank about
the fower-decked basin twelve jets of
cleaning water are so directed as to
catch the rays of colored electric light
thrown upon them from invisible points.
Under the central blaze of the lights in
the arch span hundred feet above,
these brilliant jets look like streams of
liquid fire; and as their many hued
shafts meet and break the water is
dashed into myriads of sparkling jew
els, falling in shower of rainbow
splendor. But electricity has been
made to please the ear no less than the
eye. In the eastern gallery stands
great electric organ, built by the
Roosevelt company. The keyboard by
which the organ is operated is located
on the main floor, $50 feet away, and
the LIE Clanche battery, which furnish
es the current, stands in the southwest
corner of the gallery, at least 130 feet
distant. A vocation. also operated by q
key board on the floor, has been sus-
pended from the roof. Thus from
these lofty perches will be waited con-
slant strains Of music IN the air"
played by invisible hands.

Electrical Inventions.

The Electrial Exposition which op-

ought to bring many novel inventions
before the public. Some of the curiosi-
ties are thus described
Many who attend this exhibition will
doubtless be surprised to learn that the
subtle power Of electricity can be made
to hatch chicken as we'll as to slay a

destroyer of life will be demonstrated
by curious electric incubator which is
big enough to work upon 2,l00 eggs at
once. It is already practicing upon
several hundreds, and the incubator
will be SO managed that every day Of
the show will witness the event Of new
brood Of CAV young fedglings. Per-
haps the sight most pleasing to the eye
will be that of the great electrical foun-
tain which stands in the center Of the

The Great Niagara Crash.

An exchange says:
Tine portion of the rugged bank
nearest the Horseshoe falls, on the
Canada side, known as "Upper Table
Rock, fell at mldnighJ last night with
a deafening crash, that was heard and
the concussion felt for a mile away.
Thousands of tons OF solid rock fell
into the gorge below, and with it hun
dreds Of tons of ice. The extact posi-
ton OF the break is between the Pro-
spect house and the great Horseshoe
falls, just above the old Table Rock
and next to the spiral stairway lead
ing to the path behind the sheet
OF water. It was only by miracle
that the stairway was not demolished.
The government iron railing for ov
er $50 feet was carried away. 1t is at
this very spot that nearly all the visi-
tors stand ana get the inspiring view.
Had this iall of rock occurred in the
day doubtless a heavy loss of
life would have occurred. The formal
tion of the precipice is now entirely
changed. One can now stand on the
bank and see behind the heavy sheet
OF water into a dark chasm. The
greatest curiosity is manifested by the
villagers and tourists, and throngs OF
people are moving to the spot. A
mass Of limestone and slate 1, 1,OOOf feet
| in length by about 60 feet in width
and ITO feet deep is piled in a heapine
| mass below. One hundred and twen-
| ty three thousand yards of rock is
calculated to have fallen. The sup.
posed cause of the rock giving way is
the low water, steady freezing weather
for the past three weeks and the heavy
Weigha Of the accumulated ice.

Globe.l
Very many of the tiny screws used in
this country in Matchmaking are turned
out on three little automatic machines
in this place. One of them. while turn
ing out a perfect screw, at fair rate of
speed, is considerably improved on by
it's companions. The machine takes up
but little room. A man could carry it
under his arm without much difficulty.
A wire is fed through a tube into the
machine. It is carried forward by re-
volving teeth. AS it appears, knife
cuts away the surplus metal to make
the stem for the thread, just as
the chisel operates at the lathe of the
wood-tllrner
AS this is finished, small tube, in
which the thread is formed, advances
and clasps the stem, forms the thread
at lightning speed, and falls back. AS
this is done, two knives cut that portion
of the wire off, and the completed
screw falls down. The wire again ad-
vances and the process is srepeated. The
marvel Of the machine is best grasped
when the size of the screw formed is un-
derstood. This week the largest size
are being made. They are an eighth of
an inch in length, and it would require
200 of them to weigh an ounce. The
thread of the stem is so small that it is
scarcely discernible to the naked eye.
Each machine will make 5000 screws
day. The machines have been at work
a little more than month, and are the
result of years of patient Investigation.

a Russiaa Imcs.

"A Cossack rode up to the door OF
little inn at Braile, dismounted, drank
q succession of glasses of brandy, and
then made show of remounting his
horse. The landlord reminded him
that he had not paid for his drink. The
.Cossack with heavy sigh, drew out
his dirty purse, and began fumbiing
for a coin, when his horse gave a sud
ken snort and fell to the ground. The
;Cossack was in despair, he did every
thing he could to raise the beast upon
its legs, but all was in vain. "He is
dead! He is deadp' cried out in chorus
number of bystanders, who had been
attracted to the spot by the accident.
The poor Cossack would not believe it.
The crowd, knowing that a Cossacks
horse is his own property, and that
the loss of the animal would strike
terrible blow to the owner, be-
gan to makea collection, in order to
mitigate his sufferings as far as possible.
Even the landlord was touched, forgot
his bill, and presented the bereaved
man with another glass of brandy, re-
fusing any pay. The Cossack lifted up
his saddle, slung his lance over his
shoulder, dropped a farewell tear over
the faithful beast, and walked sorrow-
fully away. When he was about one
thousand PAGES distant he suddenly
stopped, turned round and gave long
shrill whistle. At the sound of the
well-known signal, the horse sprang up,
neighed a friendly answer, and darted
off with a lightning speed to his grim
ming owner. The Cossack was soon on
his back, making significant symbols Of
thanks to the assembled crowd for their
generosity and sympathy. In few
minutes he was out of sight, and the
landlord of the krottchma was loudly
registering his vow that he would never
again trust Cossack.

Canadian Railway ginCs.

The railway kings of Canada are get
ting on fairly well for the limited coun-
try they live in. The magnates of the
Canada Pacific who are just now press
ing the people for several more millions
to complete that road do not seem to
stint themselves of anything in order to
carry out their contract. President
Stephen has just got comfortably loca-
ted in his million dollar residence. It
is built in Paladin style, the pillars that
support the portico being wonderfully
carved. The floor of the lobby is Of
three varieties of marble. The ceiling
is of polished mahogany, as are also tho
window sashes. The walls are of pol
ished italian marble with
paneling of Vienna mar
bic, except the central panel, which is of
Mexican onyx, polished until it looks
like a jewel. The furniture of the wait
ing room is of rosewood with surperb
carving. Mrs. Stephens room is requi- ],
site in set of furniture of cherry and
satinwood which cost $4,000. The en-
bellishments of the different rooms are
said to be beyond description. The pal
ace built by Mr.. Mcintyre is equal in
every way to that of Mr.. Stephen. and
that of Mr.. Angus is said to have cost
more than either, These are the three
chief men of the Canada Pacific who got
S25 900, 900 and 25, 900, 900 acres of land
to build that road and are now asking
the country to aid them further.

HALLIDAY WINDMILLS.
They are About to be Used Extensively
to Raise Water on the Snake River

They are About to be Used Extensively
to Raise Water on the Snake River
Placers.
G. G. Glenn and Charles Corker, OF
Glenn's Ferry, have just secured Hal.
laday windmills and pumps on their
land, which are giving entire satisfac-
ton. The rigs cost less than 800,
and supply a sufficient quantity OF
water to irrigate vegetable garden
patches of several acres each. They
say that, now that they have them,
they would not be without them for
FIVE times their cost. J. X. Lovelace,
of Glenn's Ferry, sold the rigs and
with guarantee of keeping them in
good running order for one year, free
of charge.
Several other ranchers in the vi
cinity are thinking of putting in mills.
and Mr.. Corker, who is one of the
most successful placer miners on the
river, expects to put in 30-fQot mill
that will supply water enough to ad-
init of running a burlap machine the
year round. Heretofore Mr.. Corker
has only run his placer mine about
three months of each year, as he
could only get "natural" water during
that length of time. But if he can
raise water with a windmill he will
prove real public benefactor, as
there are several hundred thousand
acres Of placer ground along Snake
river which only lack the one requi-
site of free water to pay literally, and
thus afford steady employment to
hundreds of men for several genera
tions.

The Knell Of PrimOgeniture.

New York worldI
The British House of Lords re-
Gently passed bill abolishing primo
geniture in cases of intestacy. Eng
land is the last of the civilized nations
to retain this relic of barbarism,
though there are exceptions to its
prevalence in some districts within
her borders. The continental powers
abolished it long ago. Primogeniture
provides that, where there is no will,
landed property shall descend to the
oldest son; and if an estate is all that
kind Of property, and there is a son,
the other children get nothing. The
object of the law was to prevent di-
vision of estates and sustain the arts
tocratic fabric.
The bill, when it becomes law,
will not have a wide effect, since it
does not do away with entail, and
those desiring to follow the old Must
principle can still cling to the tradi-
tional practise; but it is an important
indication of the drift of events and
of the modification in the laws of in
heritance which will gradually break
up the immense English landed es-
tates and establish new and more
satisfactory order Of things.
The reform will drive another nail
in the coffin of feudalism in Great
Britain. There are a few more vet
to be driven. The fact that the bill
is passed by the more conservative
branch of Parliament during the reg
ime of tory premier, lends it an in
creased significance.

which resulted in the latter getting a
bullet in the right leg, just below the
knee-cap. Halter, who sold out his
ranch recently for 20 head of horses,

MANAGER POTTER.
He b Rapidly Growing Unpopular
General Strike Not Improbable.

"A oslAc NOt AmpTOVoUles
Although it may be a matter of
supreme indifference to him, it is
nevertheless a fact that Mr.. Potter,
the new General Manager of the
Union Pacific system, is rapidly be-
coming generally unpopular all over
the vast system which he controls, be-
cause OF his uasparing economy.
During the past two weeks 16 clerks
and one Assistant Superintendent
Leslie) have been discharged from
Pocateiio, 40 men in the Master
Mechanics department of the Idaho
Division have been given their walk
ing papers, and fully $50 others dis
charged along the Oregon Short Line
and Utah & Northern Railways. To
do this many of the employees re-
tanned are compelled to do double
duty; that is to say, for instance. a man
who has heretofore been on duty only
IL hours per day is now required to
be continually on duty, and to snatch
few hours rest between times as
best he can. This is of course an ex-
treme case, but there are some such
at every divisional station and at
many others. Nor are these reduc-
tons confined to the Idaho Division,
as they are made all over the system.
The increase of work being scarcely
ever accompanied by an increase of
compensation, there is considerable
dissatisfaction at this, and all the en-
ployes who can are joining the various
Brotherhoods and other trades unions
OF railway employees. Even the yard
men (shovelers, oilers, etc., are ad-
mitted to the Brakesmen's associa-
ton, and every effort is being made to
induce all employees to join the unions.
This can have but one meaning,
to-wit: a general strike, and it will
come on the first attempt to cut
down the wages of any but
the "ofice men" emanating from Mr..
Potter. The Office men are not con-
sidered as anybody in particular by
the train, shop, and yard men; so no
objection will be raised to any re-
duction of their salaries by the latter.
But if any attempt is made to cut
down the wages of the crews or any
OF those doing the manual labor of
the road, there will, in "a hours there
after, be a general strike all along
the Union Pacific system, when none
but express, mail, and passenger trains
will be permitted to leave the yard of
any station.
Mr.. Potter is expected to attempt
to cut wages down, because he is said
to have been surprised at the high
wages paid on the Union Pacific
system.

After Twenty-Five Years.

CoRINTH, Miss Jan. Is, 1887.
Ever since I came out of the war,
up to two years ago, I had catarrh.
At times the disease was very often
sive. l tried all the doctors that
could see, and nearly every catarrh
medicine that I saw advertised; but
1 got no permanent relief until two
years ago, when l began taking S. S.
S. l felt immediate benefit from the
medicine, and after taking six bottles
l felt like a new man. When be-
gan using the medicine I was in a
very bad condition; my digestion was
poor, l had rheupatio pains in my
knees, and my feet were always cold.
These unpleasant conditions were rem
edied at once by Swift's Specific.
l ceased using the medicine after
the six bottles, because felt so we'll
that l thought l was entirely cured.
This past fall, however, 1 had re-
lapse-eviden,ly l had stopped taking
S. S. S. too soon. So I at once be-
gan with the medicine, and am happy
to tell you that am very much i'm
proved, my general health being ex-
cellent, and the catarrh rapidly disap-
psaring.
l have great faith in S. S. S. for
catarrh and blood impurities, and
recommend it to all my neighbors
who are sick. Yours truly,

Relief for the Prairie,

A welcome and refreshing rain fell
in HALEY last evening, washing the
dust from houses and trees, and thor
oughly laying the dust. A the storm
seemed to be extensive, it probably
reached Camas Prairie and gave re-
lief to the crops, which were suffering
for water. A few days ago the ranch.
ers on the Prairie were alarmed for
fear of bad season, but the change
in the weather will undoubtedly re-
lieve their anxiety.
